EDITORIAL Time is important to most of us ,it governs much of our lives. Scholars
think the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians divided the day into 24
hours, the hour into sixty minutes and the minute into sixty seconds.
They divided the year into 365 days, about the time it takes the Earth to
circumnavigate the Sun. There is a small hitch, the Earth takes nearer 365
days and 6 hours to complete its journey round the Sun. To stop the
calendar drifting through the seasons an extra day is added every 4 years.
Leap year does not seem to attract much celebration. Perhaps Morval
could have a time day !
WIDEGATES GARDEN CLUB Wednesday March 30th Kim Parish talks about a Garden Wild Life will

PARISH NEWS Hello Everybody At its meeting held in January, Cornwall Councillor Candy reported that
the planning application for a Gypsy and Traveller camp to be located at
South Treviddo Farm, near the Lean Quarry exit off of the A38, was
approved at the appeal stage. Morval Parish Council did comment on this
application when it was first received by stating that it was unable to
support it. Please accept this as an open invitation for all people of the parish to
come to the Annual Parish Meeting which will be held at the Reading
Room, Widegates on the 6th April, 2016. As in previous years, there will
be an opportunity for the people of the parish to meet councillors before
the meeting begins. Any organisation wishing to give a brief update or
information about itself should contact the clerk so that this can be
arranged. The "meet and greet" session will begin at 6.30 pm whilst the
actual meeting will start at 7.00 pm. Light refreshments will be available
between 6.30 and 7.00 pm. The monthly council meeting will begin at
7.30 pm and all members of the public are very welcome to stay for it if
they wish to. Grants requests will be considered by the Parish Council during its April
meeting. Any organisation requiring a grant application form and copy of
the grants policy should contact the clerk. The clerk is on annual leave from Saturday the 20th February until the 1st
March. Regards Lynnette Sutton

WIT & WISDOM “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that
is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the
time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds
remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar
tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” Rose Kennedy “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be
whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can
make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I
hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt
before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you
live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the
courage to start all over again.” Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay
“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds
remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar
tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” Rose Kennedy

POEM OF THE MONTH
A Leaf from the Spiral of Trees
Rowan: The Lady of the Mountains
Slowly now the sap it rises,
Quickens life divine;
Inspiration fires visions,
Mysteries most fine.
Fire of faith and human kindness,
Shake off winter cold;
Waking spirit, truthsense seeker,
Grow now strong and bold.
Eye’s delight and berried beauty,
Darkness charmed to bright;
Spinning wheels of time perpetual,
Blossom sacred light.
Levow Kesson Harmonious Voices We re-started rehearsals in January having made the decision to become a
mixed-voice choir, and what a good decision it has proved to be! With
our tenor and bass voices we are now able to take on a broader range of
music and we're all enjoying the rich harmony we make together.
There will be more news about our first gig together - the St Piran's Day
Concert in St Martin's Church, Liskeard - in the next issue of Outlook, so,
if you're free on a Tuesday evening at 7.30pm, come along to the
Liskerrett Centre in Liskeard (Doniert Room) to enjoy two hours of
singing, good company and refreshments. All welcome! (Free parking in
the Cattle Market Car Park). Look forward to seeing you!
See www.levowkesson.weebly.com for more information.
On Sunday April 24th Churchtown Gardens, The walled Garden and the
Old Vicarage Garden will all be open to raise money for St Luke's
Hospice. Refreshments will be available in St Wenna's church.

TRENODE C OF E VA SCHOOL We were all saddened by the sudden death of one of our dear governors
Mrs Nichola Southwell towards the end of January. Nichola had been a
member of staff here at Trenode a number of years ago and then more
recently had joined us again as a Governor. She was a very committed,
knowledgeable and enthusiastic member of the Governing Body who was
always keen to help and support us whenever she could. We will miss her
greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nichola’s family at this very
sad time. This term some of the older children entered the Rotary International
Youth Speaks Competition once again. We were delighted that the team
did so well that they were selected to represent our area at the District
Semi Finals. Congratulations to Ellen Marsh, Lily Priestley and Bethany
Plane on their success. We wish them well in the next round. The whole school visited View Pan Asia in Plymouth to celebrate
Chinese New Year at the beginning of February. We had a brilliant time
sampling all sorts of delicious Chinese and Asian food. We will be participating in Fair Trade Fortnight with our Annual Fair
Trade Cafe on Friday 11th March at 2.30pm. Please come along and hear
the children talk about Fair Trade. The talk will be followed by the Fair
Trade Cafe organised by Mrs Willmott. Please come and support this
worthy cause. All welcome! We are collecting Sainsbury’s Active Vouchers, which we can convert
into sports and healthy lifestyle equipment. Please pop any that you have
to spare into the School Office. As we enter the second half of term we have much to look forward to
including, World Book Day, Red Nose Day, National Science Week,
Messy Church and at the end of term Easter celebrations. To find out more about what is happening at school go online and find us
at: www.trenode.cornwall.sch.uk.

CHURCHES TOGETHER (Looe &District - Morval) There was a record turn out for the Christian Unity Prayer Service at
Sclerder Abbey at the end of January. Over 70 prayers for unity were
collected from the member churches from Pelynt to Polperro and all in
between! The prayer bunting has been displayed at Morval and other
churches for everyone to enjoy - some truly beautiful prayers. There is a
Women's World Day of Prayer service at 2.30pm Friday 4th March and a
Tenebrae Service at 7pm on the 24th March, both at Riverside Church,
West Looe. Tenebrae is Latin for darkness or shadows and is a very
moving service which recreates the emotions of the passion story with
much symbolism within the service of diminishing light as we approach
the darkness of Jesus' death. If you are interested in learning more about the work of Churches
Together and sharing in great work and ideas then please
visit www.churchestogetherincornwall.org.uk for more info or
alternatively please contact Helen Priestley Tel 241188
MESSY CHURCH Messy Church continues to be well supported by many local families with
a regular group of 20 or so children and parents gathering together for
fun, crafting and learning about God. The next Messy Church is on
Friday 22nd April 3.30-5pm. Messy Church is free and great creative fun
for everyone whether you want to get stuck in and make yourself or
watch others enjoying themselves while having a cup of tea and a
biscuit. For further details regarding Messy Church please contact Helen
on 01503 241188 or email [email protected]
